Rewards and Routines

LilFoo has fallen in to a routine where he wants marshmallows and water before bedtime. We don't let him have them every night but it has turned in to a good motivator to get him to dress himself for bedtime. The other night he had done really good with getting dressed and hadn't even mentioned marshmallows so when he was done BigFoo and I praised him and I said to him "I'm thinking of a reward, do you know what it is?" and LilFoo shouts ecstatically "NOTHING!"

All BigFoo and I could do was laugh.

A House full of Sick

The whole family was hit with the stomach flu this weekend. It started Friday night with MiniFoo and went up the ranks and ended with BigFoo on Tuesday. MiniFoo seemed to take it the hardest and today she is finally acting like her old self. LilFoo seemed to bounce back the fastest and after a few hours on Saturday night was bouncing off the walls again on Sunday morning.
LilFoo was not amused with the flu and had actually asked to go to bed and proclaimed a few times that he was "very frustrated being sick"
So, nothing got done over the weekend, we forgot to call BigFoo's stepdad and wish him a happy birthday, and both BigFoo and I are now trying to play catch up at work. Over all, not a good weekend. But the Giants beat the Patriots! :)
